Africa

(2012)

Our beloved David Attenborough tackles the exciting and mysterious continent. This time he only appears a few times in scenes establishing the five regions he divides Africa into: Kalahari, Savannah, Congo, Cape, and Sahara. A sixth hour considers the future of the continent and its wildlife, which is not encouraging, though there are rays of hope here and there. Throughout, as usual, we are treated to stunning photography and we learn things we never knew before. Highly recommended, as are all his productions.
